North Carolina State University, Office of the Provost, Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Records 1958-1990, 2000-2002

As of 2019, many of the duties of this office are now performed by the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. Before this office was subsumed into the Division of Academic Affairs in 2011, the position was titled Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. It had been previously titled Associate Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. During the 1970s and 1980s associate provosts assisted the provost in academic matters.

This collection contains general records of the provost's office relating to UNC Program Review, graduate programs, and administration. There are several folders on the review of North Carolina State University's colleges and academic degree programs. Other materials concern faculty and course evaluations.

The collection includes multiple detailed reports covering the administrative and departmental reviews of the individual colleges, the instructional and research programs, and the leadership for each academic division within the university. Also included in the collection are the correspondence, letters, and memoranda between the chancellor's office, the vice provost and various deans related to the departmental reviews and program evaluation. Additionaly, the collection includes assorted proposals for the development and addition of new instructional and academic programs within the individual colleges, such as the development of a technical writing degree within the English department or the addition of Master's degree programs in Education.

The materials date from 1958 to 1990, with a break in the records from 1991 to 1999, and the years 2000 to 2002. The bulk of the records date from the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the correspondence included in this collection is related to the activities of student organizations, such as student government, a prime example being the correspondence between the chancellor's office and Cathy Sterling, the student body president from 1970-1971.

This collection is arranged alphabetically.
